From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia Jean Adair (born Violet McNaughton, June 13, 1873 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada; died May 11, 1953 in New York City) was an actress. Although she worked primarily on stage (sometimes billed as Jennet Adair), she made several film appearances late in her career, most notably as one of the misguided murdering aunts of Cary Grant in Arsenic and Old Lace, a role she originated in the Broadway play.
